Refined Transitions: The Alhambra Grey Glazed Dado Rail

Bring a professional, architectural finish to your interior with the Alhambra Grey 5 x 15cm Dado Rail. Designed to provide the perfect "cap" for the Alhambra Grey collection, this moulded trim adds a touch of classic sophistication to any tiled wall.

The Alhambra Grey Dado is an essential component for achieving a high-end, period-inspired look. Used primarily to finish the top edge of a half-tiled wall or wainscoting, it creates a clean and decorative transition between your tiles and the wall finish above. Featuring the same translucent smoky glaze as the field tiles, the pigment pools beautifully over the rail's moulded curves, accentuating its classic silhouette with rich tonal variation. Whether you are creating a neutral sanctuary in a bathroom or a textured splashback in a kitchen, this dado rail ensures a polished, cohesive result that speaks of quality and attention to detail.


✓ Why Choose the Alhambra Grey Dado?

  • Architectural Capping - Perfectly hides the raw top edge of your tiles for a neat, professional look.
  • Coordinated Smoky Glaze - Expertly matched to the Alhambra Grey 15cm and 22.5cm tiles for tonal consistency.
  • Classic Moulded Profile - Adds an elegant, sculptural element that works in both modern and traditional settings.
  • Wipe-Clean Durability - Glazed ceramic finish is resistant to moisture and easy to maintain.

⚠️ Professional Fitting Tips

  • Corner Mitring: For internal and external corners, these rails are usually mitred at a 45-degree angle. We recommend using a professional wet saw with a fresh diamond blade to avoid chipping the glaze.
  • Wastage: We suggest an extra 10-15% for trim pieces to account for the cuts required at corners and ends.
  • Grout Selection: Use a grout that matches your field tiles to ensure the dado rail feels like a seamless extension of the wall.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use a Dado rail?

A Dado rail is used when you are not tiling to the full height of a wall. It sits on the top row of tiles to hide the unfinished edges and provides a decorative transition to the painted or papered wall above.

Can I use this with the 22.5cm linear tiles?

Absolutely. While the rail is 15cm long, it is the standard finishing trim for the entire Alhambra Grey range. You can either align the grout joints (if using 15cm field tiles) or stagger them (if using 22.5cm tiles) for a classic brick-bond effect.

How do I clean the top of the rail?

Because it is a horizontal surface, it can catch dust, but because it is glazed ceramic, it is very easy to clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth or a mild pH-neutral cleaner is all that’s needed to keep the gloss finish looking like new.
